My Mexican Shivah

About This Movie

So, 'My Mexican Shivah' has this really unique vibe that blends dark comedy with the cultural nuances of a Mexican-Jewish family. The pacing feels like a slow unraveling of both the narrative and the family's secrets, which makes for some pretty interesting dynamics. The atmosphere is infused with the chaos of mourning, but it’s peppered with humor that feels both genuine and awkward, typical of family gatherings. Performances are solid; the cast navigates this delicate balance of grief and laughter quite well. What stands out is how it tackles themes of tradition, loss, and identity, all while grounding it in a very specific cultural context. Not your typical funeral flick, that's for sure.
